During a visit to Casa Amalia, Minister for Gozo, Clint Camilleri, announced that, although to date, free transport was already provided from Monday to Friday for those who attended this home, from next week it will be provided from Monday to Sunday, as well as Public Holidays.

He explained that this service is for clients who are attending the day centre, as well as those using the night shelter.

Casa Amalia, which is located in the heart of Victoria, is a privately run home for the elderly, with which the Ministry for Gozo has entered into an agreement to purchase a professional dementia care service.

Minister Camilleri said that, with funding from the Ministry for Gozo, “it will be ensured that our elderly population are being provided with the highest quality service. In addition, this service will reach others who are having difficulty in attending because they have no one to take them to this home.”

Casa Amalia provides a day centre service, as well as night shelter and respite services for the elderly who suffer from dementia. It offers 23 beds on three floors, with accommodation for both couples and singles, each room is equipped with modern facilities.

Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri concluded by encouraging more Gozitan senior citizens to make use of these services.
